How to make Irish Chips to serve with Irish Pub sauce

• Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Prepare the Potatoes:

• Wash and scrub the potatoes to remove any dirt. You can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skin on adds a rustic touch.
• Cut each potato into thick wedges. Aim for roughly 8 wedges per potato, depending on their size.

Parboil the Potatoes:

• Place the potato wedges in a large pot of cold, salted water.
• Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes for about 4-5 minutes. You want them to be slightly tender but not fully cooked.
• Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit for a few minutes to steam dry.

Season and Coat:

• Place the parboiled potato wedges in a large mixing bowl.
• Drizzle the vegetable oil over the potatoes and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and any optional seasonings like garlic powder and paprika.
• Toss the potatoes to coat them evenly with the oil and seasonings.

Arrange on Baking Sheets:

• Line one or two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
• Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the baking sheets, ensuring they have some space between them for even cooking.

Bake:

• Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the Irish pub chips are golden brown and crispy. Flip them over halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
• Serve: Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or aioli.
• Enjoy your homemade Irish pub chips! They make a fantastic side dish or snack, especially when served with a pint of your favorite beverage.
